When four-star safety Bryce Anderson announced his top two schools, it became an old-fashioned in-state Texas vs Texas A&M showdown. Both schools are pushing hard to land Anderson, needing him to be a key part of their secondary.
Despite having to go through multiple schedule changes, Anderson made it to Austin on an official visit. Current commit Jaylon Guilbeau and DBU legend Michael Huff hung out with the Beaumont native throughout the weekend.
Even though it seemed like momentum could be swinging in favor of Texas, expert predictions are saying the opposite. Geoff Ketchum of Orangebloods and Rivals National Recruiting Analyst Sam Spiegelman have each given a prediction for Anderson to end up in College Station.
This is a recruitment Texas simply cannot lose; there will be ground to make up over the next few weeks. With a handful of prospects visiting on July 30, Anderson may be one of the most important in town.

Anderson was originally going to commit on July 4 but decided to think over his decision a while longer. No specific date has been announced. Sometime before his senior season at Beaumont Westbrook is when his announcement is expected.
On the 247Sports composite, Anderson is rated the No. 49 overall player and the No. 3 safety in the country. Within the state of Texas, he just misses out on the top 10, coming in at No. 11.
